Zoop is a recursive acronym which stands for Zoop Object Oriented PHP Framework, which is created to be fast, efficient, modular and extensible. The recent proliferation of PHP MVC Frameworks were predated in this framework, it not only supports but also encourages separation of display, logic and data layers. The highlighted feature of Zoop framework should be its integrated error handling which can be configured to log errors for production environments to be highly imformative and readable to make bugs easy to be find and squash.

The Zoop Framework is inclusive, cooperating with and containing components integrated from some existing projects including Smarty, the Prototype JS Framework, and a number of Pear Modules. We're not content just to cobble pieces together, however -- for example, we've combined the above into an implementation that brings GuiControls to PHP, providing developers with easy access to rich form widgets with client-side validation completely integrated. We're also working to include support for pieces from some of the latest and greatest PHP and Javascript projects, including the Zend Framework, PHP Doctrine, and jQuery, among others.

Features of Zoop Framework:
- A well-organized, fully-featured front controller.
- A Smarty based view layer, enhanced with form generation and rich UI controls.
- Several integrated data model access styles.
- Automation of common mundane tasks.
- Great native libraries and friendly integration with many third-party projects.
